Karen Han Polygon It's just a sweet time for everyone. Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Paddington is absolutely, positively delightful. Jan 19, 2015 Full Review Dan Kois Slate Paddington is a wonder: warm, gentle, well-acted, funny without being stupid. Jan 17, 2015 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn While this was more enjoyable than the sequel, I still found this a chore to get through. I just can't enjoy these. Rated: 2/5 Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn This was a very enjoyable viewing experience. Nicole Kidman was great as the villain! Rated: 4/5 Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies There is so much I loved about the movie. Rated: 4/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Freeman L Fell in love with Paddington right away. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Isaac M Great movie for your kids and has a good theme Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Andy C Paddington is a few baby oils short from Diddy's attention. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Audience Member It is an amazing movie great to watch with kids All around good for all ages especially around grandparents The story revolves around a bear whose goes to london And it has plenty of cute moment Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Audience Member I have never wanted a marmalade sandwich more than I do right now. Ben Whishaw IS the Peruvian bear. It's unbelievable. He manages to breath life into this CGI animal with only his voice. His performance makes the character believable in every way. Paddington manages to draw out the tears when the movie has hardly begun, establishing the character as one of the most loveable, endearing British bears in literature and film, right up there with Winnie-the-Pooh. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Vicenzo C With whimsical direction from Paul King, Paddington is an adaptation that genuinely works from performances by Sally Hawkins and Ben Whishaw. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis After a deadly earthquake destroys his home in Peruvian rainforest, a young bear (Ben Whishaw) makes his way to England in search of a new home. The bear, dubbed "Paddington" for the london train station, finds shelter with the family of Henry (Hugh Bonneville) and Mary Brown (Sally Hawkins). Although Paddington's amazement at urban living soon endears him to the Browns, someone else has her eye on him: Taxidermist Millicent Clyde (Nicole Kidman) has designs on the rare bear and his hide.
